New logo!

Thanks to Paul, and with permission from Wim (Wobbly Model Syndrome) we now have a new logo!

No Whitewash! (or indeed any other colour)

Update, painting requirement has been relaxed in order to fill spaces - if this was stopping you, it's now no longer an obstacle!

Q&A

Some people have asked questions re rules, so for anyone else wondering:

- All IA is in, except Superheavies (i.e. anything from Imperial Armour books and appropriate Imperial Armour Apocalypse entries)

- IA fliers count as skimmers in regular 40K

- IA Elysian drop troops counts as IG on the allies matrix, and their Flyers count as skimmers for the Lightning and the Thunderbolt, use the original profiles, not any from IAA.

- Prizes, there's a copy and paste error here and some confusion

• The Best General prize is awarded to a team, so if Team A wins, then both members of Team A get a prize.
• Renaissance Man (Men) works like the Best General
• The Best Painted, whilst scoring for the team will only be awarded to an individual.
• Favourite Opponent is awarded individually, but only counts towards a prize not your overall score.

more to be added as asked....

Good news and clarifications

Great news everyone - we have 10 teams already, with a few provisionals that I expect to confirm very shortly. I'll post up who's in so far, shortly, and anyone else on the fence can decide if they want to join the fun! :)

Oh I realise there's a little mistake in the info pack - the prizes are awarded to the team (so each prize is something for each team member), with the exception of the painting prize which is on an individual basis. I'll fix the document and upload it again tonight so everything is clear.

Read all about it!

Tournament rules and details are now available:

Teamhammer 40K Info Pack

Now accepting reservations!

I'm pleased to announce that Teamhammer 40K is now open for registration and there are 20 team places to fill! Please use the button below to secure your team's spot in the tournament, and please use the message section of the Paypal payment to send me your name, your team name and that of your other team member, if you know who that is going to be! Also if you know what armies you will be using, send me that too (i.e. the codex you will be using). The price for each team is $30 (Canadian). The tournament details document will be out tomorrow - I don't have MS Office on the home computer and using Open Office has destroyed the formatting so I need to resave it at work tomorrow. As the doc is not ready, the date is the 12th of May, and will be held at Gamestars in Langley!

Numbers

No, not some TV crime fighting show...but how many bodies will be at Teamhammer!

Gamestars has confirmed we can have 10 tables, which is fantastic! We'll therefore be able to have 20 teams, and thus 40 players, I couldn't have asked for better!

The Charity is Chosen (and some more event details)

Via a semi-democratic process we have chosen a charity for this year's event, and I'm pleased to announce that it is:

Details of what the Victoria Hospice does can be found on their homepage http://www.victoriahospice.org/. I like to support charities in this line of work, as a similar organisation in the UK was very helpful to a friend and his family after he was diagnosed with a terminal cancer, some years ago. We will be donating all of the takings from the tournament less what we spend on prizes, which will not be extravagant, to the VHS.

I can also announce some other details too.

Date: Saturday 12th of May
Location: Gamestars in Langley http://gamestars.ca/
Price: $30
Size: 10 - 20 teams (depending on how many tables we can use)
Games: 3

What no Lorem ipsum dolor?

No, lets have something that's at least vaguely informative in our first post! Let's start with the obvious question:

What is Teamhammer 40k?

It's a wargames tournament, for players of Warhammer 40K, where players must team up with an ally to be able to participate. Hopefully it will be an annual event, but the initial tournament will be held in May in Langley, British Columbia,Canada. An official announcement with all the relevant details will be published shortly, but the best bit...this event is for CHARITY!!!! Details of the chosen charity will be announced along with the rest of the information.
